"Wings Of Glass"

I am a full time artist living in Orlando Fl, with my husband and our family of 2 Shih Tzus.
Nature Scapes in acrylic are among my favorite things to paint and this blog will show the progress of my works in their different stages. Many of my paintings are created using multiple canvases to create a sculptural affect. If you have any questions you would like me to answer about my work or techniques, please let me know and I will be happy to blog about it.
I am also a busy jewelry artist and will be posting photos of finished pieces of interest.
I'll also be including lots of garden photos and other inspirational pictures along the way.

Silhouette Princess Egg Art

I hope everyone had a great holiday and Happy New Year!!! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things in my studio.....it's back to work for me. I thought I would start the year by working on some miniature collectibles. Remember that naked Emu egg I showed a few weeks ago that was just waiting for me to do something with it?? Well I decided to use that egg and create a grouping based on a common theme. So above we have the Silhouette Princess. She is standing with her back to us, waiting for someone.....maybe her prince, I don't know yet. She is wearing her crown of jewels and a garden of flowers is growing up all around her.

So I've taken the important elements from the large Emu egg and painted them on the smaller duck eggs to complete the set. Here we have the crown........and below.......

Some of the flowers from the princess's garden.

These are a few details shots of the main egg. I'll have to wait and see if I will continue on in this grouping and make a series.....only the weeks or months ahead will tell.

Happy 2009 - looks like you started the year with another beautiful and unusual project. I am looking forward to seeing your creation unfold.I am always amazed that you can paint so small and and with so much beautiful detail.Have a wonderful creative week.Erin

About the eggs: what can I say but Prince Charming hurry up, I want to see the pretty face of this princes and she will only turn around when you come gallopping on your white horse or in your brandnew BMW. ;-)

Hi Ruth, Just stunning once again. The eggs are incredible!!Hope you had a nice New Year and all best wishes to you and yours for 2009.I am so ready to be back in the studio and just finished my room redos.
